London: An exclusive website that only allows ‘beautiful people’ as their members has rated Britons among the ugliest people in the world.
Mirror Online reports that as per the website less than one in eight UK men (12 per cent) and just three in 20 women (15 per cent) who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted as members. Since the website was opened to UK members 295,000 people have applied, with only 35,000 being approved.
Existing members of the website rate how attractive potential members are over a 48-hour provisional period, when applicants upload a recent photograph and a short personal profile.
They are rated by members of the opposite sex, who have four options to describe how attractive they think the hopeful is - 'Yes definitely', 'Hmmm yes, OK', 'Hmmm no, not really' and 'NO definitely NOT'.
Swedish men have proved the most successful applicants, with two-thirds (65 per cent) of those putting themselves forward being accepted, reported the Mail.
Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with more than three-quarters (76 per cent) making the grade.
The website was founded in 2002 in Denmark and since then it has spread to other countries - becoming available in the UK in April 2005.
The 'elite dating site for beautiful people only', went live across the globe on 26 October this year. Over the past two weeks, the site has rejected nearly 1.8million people from 190 countries.
Sweden, Brazil and Norway are proving to be the most beautiful countries overall, with applicants from Germany and the UK among the least successful.
BeautifulPeople.com managing director Greg Hodge said, “Asking why British people are doing so badly is a tough question. It hurts me - I'm English.”
